Beautiful summer like weather were having here in downeast Maine this week.
My wife and I and our dog took a nice scenic drive to secluded Schoodic Point, at Acadia National Park,.. to have a picnic on our anniversary, enjoy the day, the scenery and each other.
The ocean was calm and the mid day light was not ideal for seascapes,....but the intermittent cloud cover was ideal for close up lighting.
The vegitation surrounding the park is alive with color,...flourishing everywhere were blue purple wild irises nestled within the rock formations. I couldn't resist as you can see. It was quite breezy so I was generous with the exposures,...heres one of the resulting images.
Taken with a Nikon D300, on tripod, 200mm lens manual mode, 1/250 @ f8, ISO 200

What a wonderful shot. There is no mistaking what the subject is. You made great use of Depth of Field to bring attention to the subject and lastly you simplified the image by your use of DOF and making the seed heads of the grass out of focus.
From a no technical perspective: Beautiful shot.
I like the road running behind and the vegitation in the background and sky. All of which act as a canvas for the flower to be shown on.

It does look like a road doesn't it,.....
It's actually an out of focus rock in the background.
Always interesting to hear another's take on what they see in your image.
Thank you,...makes me see my own image differently.
